Wakul Nasi Resto — Restaurant in Bali

A most abominable contortion - I fell prey to the most despicable deceit at the hands of remorseless, conniving swindlers. One regretful night, the 11th of January 2024, I was in the midst of an intense yearning for the most vivacious and healthiest sustenance that nature’s bounty can produce - grass-fed rib-eye. So, naturally, reader, you can understand how I felt when, finally, I found a restaurant whose menu contained ‘premium Australian rib-eye’…. I needn’t, in fact I mustn’t, elaborate on my state of my mind upon this discovery… for the sake of your delicate sensibilities…

To aptly describe the atrocity they served demands the invention of a novel lexicon. Nonetheless, I will still make an attempt - please, reader, close your eyes, and picture if you dare; it was unnaturally large, and perfectly and artificially circular. It fell apart at the stroke of a butter knife, and had the texture of rubber, or even plastic. It presented a cacophony of flavourless dissonance - it elicited nothing like the sensation of fullness steak should provide, tasting instead just as synthetic meat would.

Not once, reader, not once in my decades of dining out have I ever complained about anything to waitstaff. I am accustomed to virtuous and polite reticence to waitstaff inquiring about my satisfaction with my food, but their deceit and torment drove me to break habit and inquire:

‘Is this rib eye?’

‘Yes sir’, the waitress mumbled, gaslighting me.

‘Are you sure?’

‘Yes, it is…’

‘Australian rib-eye?’

‘Let me check…’

What ensued was perhaps, by my approximation, seven minutes of dialogue to uncover the true character of the slop on my plate. As it turns out, it was actually grounded using the fats of beef, akin to a burger patty or sausage. The supervisor, with little remorse, admitted this should have been disclosed to us before my partner and I ordered A$40 of it - yet the best she could muster up was a measly 25% discount, a paltry plea for pardon. I would imagine Indonesian contract law dictates we are entitled to a full refund. I would also imagine that a complaint to the relevant consumer body for misleading and deceptive practices would be appropriate.

‘Premium Australian rib-eye’, they haughtily proclaim? These people - they vomit their bile and call it their menu! Disguising that processed, completely fake and synthetic and obscenity as nature's choicest and purest ambrosia is a sacrilege - a crime...

The Wakul Nasi Resto is a Restaurant located down a side street near the center of Seminyak.

I came here with my mother for dinner. This Restaurant was extremely pretty with plenty of different areas to sit at. You can choose to sit indoors, outdoors, and even in a garden!

I chose to sit in the garden and there was a beautiful statue with a live music performer who was singing beautifully.

I chose the Chicken Curry for my dinner and it tasted amazing! The chicken was cooked very well and it came with a well presented rice ball. My mother chose the Beef Satay which was presented on a wooden holder, it also came with rice and satay sauce.

For my drink I chose a Mocktail which had the name along the lines of Yellow but I can't remember the full name of it. It was so good!! I'm not sure if I've actually ever had a drink that's tasted that delicious before it was so good and I would definitely have it again.

Overall, Wakul Nasi Resto is a great Restaurant open all day for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner with great atmosphere, live music, and delicious food and drinks. Would definitely come here again when I...

I don’t often leave reviews, but having just read a couple of other reviews about food poisoning in the last few weeks I thought I should share my experience.

Last night I spotted this place - a lovely setting with live music, and seemed like a great chilled spot for dinner. I had the chicken curry. About four hours later, I started getting symptoms of food poisoning and have spent all day today bed ridden. Not the best way to spend a day of vacation. In hindsight, I did notice that the curry looked more like a broth and the chicken was quite grey.

I think this place deserves to do well, but 3 google reviews about food poisoning in a month is definitely cause for alarm. Maybe just go for a drink and the music and save yourself from losing a day...
